==Plot== A photographer captures photos and stories of Africans in Yeoville, South Africa, centered largely around Ayanda, a young designer working out of her late father's garage. When Ayanda's mother and her mother's best friend disclose a need to sell the garage, Ayanda, not willing to let go of her father's memory, undertakes a scheme to refurbish old cars to save the business with the help of two loyal mechanics. The film explores the strain Ayanda's endeavor causes within her group of family and friends pitting her obsessive desire to retain everything of her father's against their attempts to move on.
